On June 12, the 26th year of Chongzhen, Li Zhi walked on the south shore of Darling Harbour in Sydney, carefully observing the land in this area.

The Tiger Army had already invaded Australia and occupied a continent the size of China.

After getting such a large piece of new land, Li Zhi took a boat to take a look. After a bumpy ride, it took Li Zhi 18 days to reach Sydney.

In fact, Li Zhi is not the first time to come to Sydney, and Li Zhi has also been there before the crossing. However, at that time, Li Zhi traveled to Australia as a tourist, and was condescendingly scrutinized by white people as residents of developed countries. And today, Li Zhi set foot on this land again, but he came to announce that this land belongs to the Han people from now on.

Of course, now this port is not a penal colony for British criminals and is not called Sydney. This port is also not called Darling Harbour, this land is still uninhabited virgin land, waiting for the Han Chinese colonists to come and name it.

At this time, it was winter in the southern hemisphere, and Li Zhi was wearing a thin cotton coat - the latitude of Sydney is relatively low, and the temperature in winter is not low, most of the time the temperature is in the teens, so Li Zhi does not need to wear a down jacket.

Li Zhi walked in the broad-leaved forest on the edge of the harbor, looking at his surroundings.

Li Laosi followed Li Zhi's side, feeling a little jubilant.

"Lord Wang, this place is good, and the temperature is suitable for our people in Tianjin. The temperatures in Java, Borneo and New Guinea are too high, and this place has winter and summer, although the season is reversed from Tianjin, but it is good to keep people from sweating all day. ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Are you hot in the Indochina Peninsula?" ”

Li Laosi said: "It's really hot, it's hot during the day, and it's even hotter at night." The mosquitoes were all sperm, and as soon as I got out of the net, they immediately nailed them to my body. At least one glass of blood should be donated to mosquitoes every day. ”

"And malaria is endemic in places where there are a lot of mosquitoes. Our Tiger Army attaches great importance to hygiene in Indochina, but we still cannot avoid the spread of malaria. Dozens of people die from the disease every month, and non-combat injuries are enormous. ”

"But it looks different here. Look, Lord Wang, those trees are almost the same as ours in Tianjin, clean and clean. It is not covered with vines like the rainforest trees of Indochina. There are also far fewer venomous snakes here, and after three miles, I haven't seen a single snake yet. ”

Li Zhi walked onto a protruding rock and took a cautious step out.

Outside the woods, the beautiful bay of Darling Harbour appeared in front of Li Zhi's eyes.

In the middle is the clear blue water, which sparkles in the sunlight and shimmers like a sapphire. On both sides of the bay are hills tens of meters high, all of which are densely covered with green broad-leaved trees. The blue water and the green valley look like a painting.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Li Laosi, you have a vision, this place is really good." ”

Li Zhi asked with a smile: "Li Laosi, do you know how many people this continent can support?" ”

Li Laosi was stunned, shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, our warship has just been killed here, and the terrain and resources in the inland have not yet been detected, I don't know how many people this continent can support." ”

Li Zhi said: "This continent can support 100 million people, with our leading agricultural technology, I think it is to move all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and this land can also carry it." ”

Li Laosi was stunned, and said, "Can you feed so many people? ”

Li Zhi nodded, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, and looked at the soil carefully.

In fact, Australia is a very rich land.

After later generations of white British occupied this land, they violently turned this virgin land into their own colony. However, the British had too many colonies in the world at that time, and Australia, which was half a world away from the British mainland, was the farthest part of them. As a result, only a small number of British immigrants came to Australia, and in the early days only convicts came.

Until World War II, Australia's population was only seven million.

The British occupied this rich land, but there was no population to develop and build, and they were very frightened and uneasy. As a result, the people of this country are doubly wary of immigration, and they are constantly worried that immigrants from other countries will rely on numerical superiority to occupy Australia.

Historically, Australia has implemented the notorious "white Australia" policy, and has launched riots to oppress and kill Chinese many times in history, driving boatloads of Chinese immigrants out of Australia.

In order to prove the legitimacy of the occupation of such a vast land by a very small number of white people, the whole society of Australia is desperately promoting the "barrenness" of Australian land. Under the propaganda of the white Australian media, Australia is basically a barren land, which can only accommodate the local white population, and can no longer support a little immigration.

However, in fact, this is a blatant lie, and with Li Zhi's geographical knowledge, you can see at a glance the lies of white Australians.

When Australia's population was less than 10 million, it desperately claimed that Australia's population had reached its limit, but when its population was close to 25 million, it still had a food self-sufficiency rate of nearly 300 percent and exported a large amount of grain.

Whites could not tolerate the high temperatures in the north near the equatorial region. Before Li Zhi's crossing, white Australians only lived in the cold areas of the south suitable for white people, leaving the vast land of the north empty. In the north of later Australia, there were vast tropical forests that were completely uninhabited, and a larger amount of shrubland and grassland was uncultivated. Even so, Australia is the world's largest exporter of meat and dairy products.

The so-called desert areas that white Australians desperately promote actually occupy less than 40% of Australia's total area, and most of them are desert grasslands or sandy lands covered with sandy vegetation, which are fundamentally different from the pure sand dunes in the interior of the Asian continent.

At the level of agricultural production in later generations, there was no pressure on Australia to feed 300 million people.

Even according to the agricultural level of one town and six provinces in the 26th year of Chongzhen, Li Zhi believes that Australia can feed 100 million people, with the construction of sufficient water conservancy facilities, the good use of guano and other resources, and the cooperation of sufficient human resources.

Now that this land has fallen into the hands of the Han Chinese, Li Zhi will certainly not let this land be full of no man's land as it was in later generations.

Li Zhi will immigrate to Australia on a large scale. Southern Han Chinese can live in the hotter areas of northern Australia, and northern Han Chinese can live in cooler areas of southern Australia.

Li Zhi looked at Zheng Hui and Gao Ligong, who were following behind, and said, "Go back to Tianjin and Shandong to recruit immigrants." Immigrants who used to complain that Taiwan was too hot are now blessed to go to a place where the climate is no different from Tianjin and Shandong. ”
